Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The light footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the iron gate. Chu Mengmeng held her breath, clenched the dagger hidden in her sleeve, stared at the door sharply, and prepared to face the upcoming challenge. However, the door was not pushed open roughly, but a familiar knocking sound came instead, three long and two short, which was the code they agreed with their allies!

Chu Mengmeng was delighted, but she did not dare to act rashly, and she carefully knocked again in response. After a moment, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and a dark shadow flashed in. The person who came was their loyal ally - the leader of the dark guards, Ying.

"Miss, son-in-law, are you okay?" Ying saw the two men's miserable appearance and anxiously went forward to check their injuries.

"I'm fine, it's just Yichen..." Chu Mengmeng looked at Xiao Yichen worriedly. Ying immediately took out a pill from her arms and fed it to Xiao Yichen. The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm current quickly flowed through her body. Xiao Yichen's face gradually regained a trace of color.

"Miss, son-in-law, I have failed in my duty and am a step late. Please punish me!" Ying knelt on one knee, blaming himself.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's leave here first." Chu Mengmeng helped Xiao Yichen up, and with Ying's help, the three of them quickly left the dark basement.

In a hidden courtyard, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen finally learned the whole story from Ying. It turned out that the leader of the men in black was the remnant of the evil organization they had eliminated. His purpose in arresting them was not to kill them, but to use them to lure out the forces behind them and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"The leader of the men in black is too arrogant. He thinks he can control the overall situation by capturing us, but he doesn't know that we have already made all the preparations." Chu Mengmeng sneered, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"Mengmeng, what are your plans?" Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng. He knew that this seemingly weak woman had tremendous energy hidden deep in her heart.

"Since he wants to play, we will play with him to the end! Why don't we take advantage of his trick..." Chu Mengmeng leaned close to Xiao Yichen's ear and whispered her plan. After Xiao Yichen heard it, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say!"

Ying was listening on the side, secretly admiring in his heart that the young lady was really far-sighted. This time, they must catch the enemy off guard and let them know that the phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes!

As the night deepened, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood side by side in front of the window, looking at the night sky outside, their eyes firm and deep. A thrilling counterattack was about to begin, and they were ready to face the darkness before dawn. What they didn't know was that even greater challenges were still to come, and what awaited them would be a more thrilling whirlpool of fate...

***

In a secluded courtyard, warm sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled shadows on the ground. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen changed into clean clothes, sat at the stone table, and listened to Ying telling them what happened during their imprisonment.

"Those men in black are well-trained and ruthless. They are obviously from an extremely secretive and powerful organization." Ying's face was solemn. "I have investigated secretly. This organization acts in a secretive manner. It seems to be secretly controlling many forces. The purpose is unknown."

"Control? Do they want to overthrow the entire dynasty?" Chu Mengmeng frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.

"We are still unable to determine their ultimate goal, but what is certain is that they have ill intentions towards the young lady and the son-in-law." Ying paused and continued, "In order to cope with the next challenge, I have arranged a safe residence and invited several masters with strong martial arts skills to train the young lady and the son-in-law."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that if they wanted to take revenge, they had to improve their own strength and never let others bully them.

In the following days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen began to train hard under Ying's arrangement. Chu Mengmeng was born with a keen sense of spiritual energy. Under the guidance of a mysterious old man, she began to learn to control and use the powerful power hidden in her body. Xiao Yichen, under the guidance of a female martial artist with unparalleled martial arts skills, practiced swordsmanship diligently and constantly broke through his own limits.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Chu Mengmeng was wearing a red dress, standing on the training ground. She waved her delicate hand gently, and a sharp gust of wind whistled out, cutting a large tree in the distance in half. She landed lightly on the ground, with a confident smile on her lips.

Not far away, Xiao Yichen was holding a long sword, his figure was like a ghost, shuttling between the trees, the sword light flashing, the chill was pressing. He had already mastered the swordsmanship taught by the female knight, and he was superb.

Seeing each other's progress, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were filled with hope. They knew that the time for revenge was getting closer... Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen knew that revenge was no joke, and if they wanted to succeed, they had to plan carefully and take every step carefully. They gathered all their loyal allies to discuss a counterattack plan.

"Ying, how much do you know about that mysterious organization?" Chu Mengmeng sat in front of a table covered with a map, tapping the table lightly with her slender fingers, a solemn look between her brows.

"Miss, I have found out that their headquarters is located in Luoxia Valley outside the city. The terrain there is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack." Ying pointed to the place marked with a red skull on the map and said, "Also, according to reliable information, they recently obtained a mysterious weapon with great power. It should not be underestimated."

"Mysterious weapon?" Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, "Do you know what weapon it is?"

Ying shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "It is not clear what the weapon is, but it is said to be an ancient artifact, powerful enough to destroy the world."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They had heard about the power of the ancient artifact. If it fell into the hands of the evil, the consequences would be disastrous.

"It seems that we must destroy the artifact before they use it!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes flashed with determination, and she said in a firm tone.

In the next few days, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen developed a detailed battle plan based on the intelligence provided by Ying. In order to ensure the success of the plan, they also conducted multiple simulation exercises and continuously improved every detail of the plan.

After everything was ready, on a dark and windy night, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen led their allies, wearing night clothes, and quietly sneaked into Luoxia Valley. The terrain in the valley was complex, with dense woods and steep cliffs everywhere. They carefully avoided the patrolling guards and headed towards the headquarters of the mysterious organization.

Finally, they arrived at their destination, a heavily guarded fortress hidden deep in the valley. The fortress was surrounded by high walls and towers, and every so often there was a team of fully armed guards patrolling back and forth, creating a depressing and murderous atmosphere.

"Action!" With Chu Mengmeng's order, the allies who had been lying in ambush rushed out like arrows, and a fierce battle was inevitable. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took the lead, cooperated tacitly, and gave full play to their strength. They were agile and their moves were fierce. Wherever they went, the enemies fell one after another. The defense lines of the mysterious organization were broken one by one, and the dawn of victory was in sight.

However, at this moment, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the depths of the fortress, and the whole valley trembled...

After the roar, the ground shook, and a dazzling red light rose from the center of the fortress, rushing straight into the sky! Wherever the red light went, trees withered instantly, rocks turned into powder, and a suffocating atmosphere of terror spread.

"Oh no! It's an ancient artifact!" Ying exclaimed, his face changed drastically.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that the mysterious organization had gone to extremes and had used a powerful ancient artifact.

"Everyone, break out with all your might!" Xiao Yichen gave the order decisively, his voice was exceptionally clear in the chaotic battlefield.

Chu Mengmeng's mind moved, and a long sword emitting a white glow appeared in her hand. This was her life-defining magic weapon, the Ice Soul Sword, which was extremely sharp and could cut iron like mud.

"Kill!" Chu Mengmeng shouted delicately, and moved lightly among the enemy groups. As she swung the Ice Soul Sword, it brought up bursts of cold air, and wherever it passed, the enemies were frozen into sculptures.

Xiao Yichen held an ancient long sword, the blade was as black as ink, exuding a fierce murderous aura. Every time he swung the sword, it had the power to split mountains and rocks, and no one could stop it.

Under the leadership of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, the allies fought hard, broke through the heavy encirclement, and broke out of the fortress.

However, at this moment, the red light in the center of the fortress surged again, forming a huge energy shield that enveloped the entire fortress.

“Hahaha! Don’t even think about escaping!” A arrogant laugh came from deep within the fortress. “Today, you will all become sacrifices to the ancient artifact!”

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces darkened. They knew that this energy shield was extremely strong and it would be extremely difficult to break through it by force.

"What should we do?" The allies also looked despairing, looking at the insurmountable barrier before them.

Chu Mengmeng frowned, her mind racing, trying to find a way out of the situation.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she thought of something. She turned to look at Xiao Yichen with hope in her eyes.

"Yi Chen, do you still remember that jade pendant?"

Xiao Yichen was stunned for a moment, then he understood and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"You mean..."

"That's right!" Chu Mengmeng nodded, "Perhaps, that is our only hope!"

The two of them no longer hesitated and quickly took out a crystal clear jade pendant from their arms. This jade pendant was the ancient treasure they had accidentally obtained, and it was said to have mysterious powers.

At this moment, the red light in the center of the fortress became brighter and brighter, and the terrifying energy fluctuations caused the entire valley to tremble violently.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen held the jade pendants in their hands and looked at each other firmly, their eyes full of determination and hope...
